A 1930'S 4 Bedroom Character Home Occupying an Elevated 1 Acre South A 1930’s 4 bedroom character home occupying an elevated 1 acre south facing plot in this prime residential cul-de-sac with distant views to the South Downs offering great potential for extending STPP. GREENSTONES, ROOKERY WAY, HAYWARDS HEATH, WEST SUSSEX, RH16 4RE • Character home in prime location • Garden studio building with potential • 4 further bedrooms and family bathroom • Sunny south facing plot with tennis court • Living room with open log fire • Numerous original character • Glorious views to the South Downs • 2 additional reception rooms features throughout • Ideal for extending and reconfiguring STPP • Kitchen/breakfast room and large • EPC rating: E • Would benefit from some updating utility room • Council Tax Band: G • Ample driveway parking and • Large master bedroom with en-suite double garage shower room A 1930’s 4 bedroom character home occupying an elevated 1 acre south facing plot in this prime residential cul-de-sac with distant views to the South Downs offering great potential for extending STPP. We believe the house was built in the 1930s and was possibly designed by the renowned local architect Harold Turner and still retains many of the classic character features including exposed oak joinery and some leaded light, stained glass windows. The property would benefit from some updating although some buyers may wish to extend and reconfigure the accommodation or even convert the substantial attic space if required STPP. The accommodation on the ground floor is arranged around a grand reception hall with the original oak staircase rising to the 1st floor and there are 3 separate reception rooms, a family sized kitchen, a big utility room with internal doors leading through to the garage. On the first floor there is a substantial master bedroom enjoying the distant views to the South Downs with en-suite shower room, 3 further bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC OUTSIDE To the front of the house there is a driveway providing parking for several cars leading up to the garages. The rear gardens are a particular feature enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and have been laid out on different levels. An upper terrace and lawn adjoins the rear of the house and steps down to a further paved terrace which is surrounded by herbaceous beds and borders and overlooks the tennis court. Beyond the tennis court is a large area of lawn and on the east side is a timber studio building which is in need of attention and could make way for a fabulous garden building ideal for to create a home office/gym/annexe. In all, the grounds extend to about 1 acre.
